Nothing aimed at you CH1, and yes thanks for clarifying what I had posted. I was just pointing out to people that this is the type of stuff the anti-Subban brigade use to justify their case that he is a PK first, team 2nd, athlete.

It sounds dumb but on the other hand is it just a coincidence he is in the center of all these team pics or right next to the star of the team... even when he had little to do with 2 of the winning teams? That's the sort of debate he creates amongst hockey pundits and fans. As a fan of Subban I could care less but I can't look at those pics and totally deny the suggestion the other side brings up. Maybe there are other team pics out there where he is the last guy on the left who barely makes it in the photo but the anti-Subban camp didn't mention those.

Like him or not I've also had my fix of hearing about PK, there isn't a day that goes by that you can't tune in to TSN690 and they aren't talking about PK one way or another.

This morning it was about the PK and Crosby exchange of words last game.

I'd like to start hearing more about the expansion draft, draft, UFA season, trades

The 690 guys have lost it. Their insane desire to rip on Bergevin has sent them to the point that Subban is basically Jesus Christ reincarnated.

They seem to act like Nashville making it this far makes the trade bad. It was a bad trade June 29, 2016. The fact we went out early and Nashville has made the Finals does not change what the trade was on June 29.

That might be but he also stands out in all photos because he is the only person of colour in them.

Honestly, I'm tuning everything out except the actual game broadcast. Every media outlet is chasing the same 2-3 storylines

Despite all the lovely ladies on TSN and Sportsnet anchoring their Sports Center shows I have barely watched any of the NHL game stories or highlights since the Habs were eliminated.

The only reason I heard this TSN1040 discussion is because my car only has AM radio these days and it is either all day sports on one channel or all day news on the other where they talk about terrorism or the recent BC election. I need 8-track at this point until I buy a new car.

A load of crap from all media sources , he joins an elite top 4 . He had to carry our D and took risks to make it happen sometimes, and we couldnt score to save our life .

Nashville has matured and now have enough offence . They added RJ , Forsberg , Fiala etc...in the last 2-4 years to their top 6 and have a solid goaltending.

They keep adding top talent and building for this , we add Byrons , Dano`s and Drewiskie`s .

The west is no longer run by a few dominant teams as Chi and LA have slipped .

The optics look shit , but we were going nowhere with 76 or 6 as a 1 man D show and our scoring flaws have never been fixed.
 
Yup Crosby was clearly motivated cause Subban made a joke.

Being game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final, he needed motivation to try hard.

The idea that Crosby wasn't motivated in the Stanley Cup Finals, but suddenly became motivated by a Subban Chirp, is next level stupidity.

Give me a break. Thats ****ing ridiculous.
 
Crosby was doing NOTHING. Now he buries one. Cause and effect. The precise reason why players are told not to give their opponents any bulletin board material. But PK's gotta PK.

Meh its the cup... i'm not gonna try.

Subban made a joke to a reporter. I'm gonna score now.


What does it say about Crosby's character if that narrative were true? He'd be a ****ing poof. Doesn't try his hardest in the first three games of the Cup Final cause he wasn't motivated enough? If this is making him try harder, it means he has poor character and can't motivate himself in the cup final.
 
So much for the team built on offense beating the team built with defense.

Hell, so much for wehave.

Speaking of bulletin board material, Nashville coaches must have read your posts because they did not sit back in the 3rd period.

My criticism of Rinne has him playing better.

I want the Conn Smythe, I'm the real MVP.
